1 Laser Technician Jobs & Market Analysis

2 Where will I work as a Certified Laser Technician? There are numerous possibilities for employment in this booming and ever-changing industry. Our graduates have obtained highly desired jobs in medical spas, day spas, physicians offices, salons, fitness centers, health and beauty establishments, treatment-specific boutiques such as tattoo removal and even National Laser Institute. In fact, many of our instructors came back to us after getting several years of experience in the field because they wanted to be a part of our fun and fast-paced working environment! Graduates with an entrepreneurial spirit can open their own location, rent a room in someone else s location or negotiate a partnership deal with a physician. One of the benefits of renting a room at an existing business is dealing with much less overhead, allowing the laser tech to focus on building their clientele rather than worrying about numerous fixed and variable costs. As in any other industry, the more advanced your skill set, the more attractive you are in the marketplace.
